Hello and welcome back to Talking Giants presented by the fanatic sportsbook.

It is June 8, 2006, and we have a 53-man roster prediction show for you guys.

It is Sean Marash from WFAN.

It is Justin Penick from Jamboy Media.

Sean, I hope you had a great weekend.

I hope everybody had a great weekend. We're recording this on Thursday. So please, please, after a week where we got so much news, how about no news and lets everybody just have a nice slow weekend? So this 53-man roster episode that we're going to do, so we don't have to throw it in the trash. Yes, and keep roasting Justin in the comments for defending Darius

Slate and he's his brother. So that's great. I am wearing an Odell jersey as we speak right now. There we go. I have another one in my closet. Would you like me to go get it or do you believe me? I would like you not to come out of your closet right now. I would very much prefer that. I love the, and people are like, well, it's a little snug on you.

Well, guess what? Hotel was on the Giants 10 years ago, man.

So. I would very much prefer that. I loved, and people are like, well, it's a little snug on you.

Well, guess what? Hotel was on the Giants 10 years ago, man. So, yeah. Here's your motivation, Justin. There's your motivation. Odell's back. Yeah, yeah, get my body that I had back when I was freaking 18 years old. Yeah, okay. Yes, I have an Odell jersey. Odell was the man. O'Dell was the man.

I'm happy that he's back.

And oh my, yeah, the, Okay. Yes, I have an Odell jersey. Odell was the man. Odell was the man. I'm happy that he's back.

And oh, my, yeah, the, the online conversation that I've had on Thursday today

because YouTube and everybody's roasting me that I'm saying that Darius Slayton is a better football player in the year 2026 than O'Dill Beckham Jr. So enjoy that take. Enjoy that take. I know you were going to get killed for that take. Enjoy that take. Yeah. I've never believed something so adamantly that I don't mind getting killed for it. I'll just say this. Darius Slaten gets a lot of defenders, I think, in the Giants beat reporting. And I think from certain content creation, because I think he's a super nice guy, and I think he's super friendly. And I think he is a consummate pro. I think he's a bad guy by any means. But Darius Slayton is everything you should want off this football team for all the reasons you pointed to the disease of losing. Is Darius Slayton better than a guy that has nine catches over the last two years? The answer should be yes. You're asking the wrong question. Does Darius Slaten help the team any more than O'Dell Beckham Jr.? The answer is probably no. Sean, we have a 53-man roster builder exercise prediction that we're going to be doing today. Let's do it. Shout out to all of you. I mean, we got like, I think we got a little bit of an Odell bump, if I'm honest, where Odo Beckham Jr. signs this week, we choose to put out a Google form for you to fill out your own 53-man roster. And by the way, I mean, I guess if you want to continue to play around with the, with the builder in the form, even after this episode comes out, feel free to do that.

But we got like almost 200 submissions of a 53-man roster. And I had to do some tinkering

and some updating because the form changed a couple times between Jason Sanders being released,

Zach Triner being released, Juju, Brax & Barros, and Odell being added.

But it was super cool.

So thank you.

I mean, the more, that's a pretty good sample size of a lot of Giants fans submitting

what they think or even what they want this 53 man roster to be.

Sean,
